The comments in that file suggest that this is not a general facility to execute AppleScript programs, but rather a way to get data out of a MacOS-specific contacts database. Am I right about that? Other systems will have other kinds of contacts databases doing the same job, and Emacs seems to support them just as well or better. Am I right about that? If so, then under the conditions in the node Non-GNU-Only Features of the GNU Maintainers Guide, this is a system-specific implementation of a feature that is supported equally well on the GNU system, so it is ok. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
